History
Temperleys, Carter & Darke was a London-based company of shipping and insurance brokers. One of the partners, John Temperley, was the owner of the Temperley Line, a steamship line from London to Quebec City and Montreal (Temperley Steam Shipping Co Ltd). He managed several inter-related shipping businesses. In 1916, due to the death of Oswald Darke, the company amalgamated with Edmund Haslehust & Co. and it became known as Temperleys, Haslehust & Co.
